Another translation??

Hi everyone

Now that 'Love me if you dare' is coming to an end, I am contemplating on translating another novel. Another one of Ding Mo's novels perhaps? Her other 2 crime novels are 'When a snail loves' and 'Memory lost'. But I am quite sure there's already translation for them.

Or does anyone have any other suggestions? Does not need to be Ding Mo. But bear in mind that I am not a fan of fantasy / Sci-fi novels. And I don't think my English is good enough to translate a historical novel... :)

(And for the new book, I don't think I can sustain a daily update. It will more likely be 2-3 chapters a week)

TB

PS. btw, the last chapter for LMFYD is 84. Then, there will 2 more chapters on Fu Ziyu's story, and 4 more chapters on the various side stories.

I don't think anybody translated Memory Lost! I would love love love and appreciate if you would pick up that one for your next project! Otherwise, I still can't thank you enough for all your hard work put into lmfyd (the updates MAKE my day)

I would like you to translate Memory lost but there's already one. It's unfortunate because your translation speed and style are great. If you like this kind of criminal psychological romance, how about this? http://www.books.shushengbar.com/?p=6858

City of Mercy... I read the synopsis at sbb. Sound quite interesting... Hopefully it wont be too hard to read like LMFYD. Looking forward to the new bookYes.. both book you mention is currently being translated...

I've been lurking on your translations and just wanted to thank you for your excellent quality of work! I generally go for period stories, but since that's out, I like your suggestion. Or anything else with mobsters is cool really.

I can't remember the novel title. But one of ding mo's work has epiloge that has BJY in it. Could u please translate the epilouge here as well? I'm sorry i didn't know the title and can't help too muxh. Thx.

http://www.books.shushengbar.com/?p=1177Though it is historical it's an easy read.The king loves the girl so much and it's happy ending.I thought you might wanna take a break from the crime novels for a while and it's a sweet book.:)

City of Mercy would be very lovely! Thank you so much TB! So excited for your new project and I am most grateful for your willingness to share your time and translation to us! Sending you warm greetings and love from the United Arab Emirates.

I am not aware of all the great Asian novels out there.This is a new treat for me.I am sure what every you decide to translate next will be a great read.You will have my support.Looking forward to your next project.Thank you for all your hard work.

Can you please translate the complete chapters from "when a snail love" by the same author. I already read 32 parts of the story from another translator and it's still incomplete (tiffyisland I believe). I'm so anxious and dying to know what happens next. There are 60 chapters I believe. Can you please accept this request of mine to continue translating this wonderful story. It would really make my day and I would really be thankful for it.

No, tiffy is still doing it. She's doing a fundraiser for the elderly in her country which is pretty awesome if you ask me. But she is still planning on completing the series. If you've only read up to ch 32, you're in for a bit of a surprise. Go check it out 😆

I vote for Memory lost. It has already a translator, but they still unsure to continue or not (if I'm not wrong). But whatever you pick (city of mercy, etc), I'll be delight.Thanks for for your hardwork.

TB, I had just read chapter 1 of Don’t Turn from Summer (莫负寒夏) by Ding Mo translated by jollymerry and it seemed interesting. It seemed that she's not planning to translate the rest of the novel. So I am suggesting this one for your next project ^^

TB i want to thank you for translating this novel as fans we can't do anything to repay your kindness we could only cheer on you and say thank i would love if you translate Memory Lost iam in love it just reading 6 ch but i don't think the translator is not willing to continue because it long and wish you pick it up but i will love anything you pick but with happy ending

How about "Don’t Turn from Summer"? It's the novel that written by Ding Mo as well and the male protagonist is quite similar to BJY (in my opinion). I think the plot and the characters seem interesting. So, I would recommend this novel for your next project! :D

I read the first chapter of Don’t Turn from Summer and really like it!! http://www.lwxsw.org/books/25/25344/ I think this is the link to the novel. Unfortunately I can’t read Chinese, and Google translate is not understandable! So i would be very thankful if u translate it! (^-^)b

I vote for Don't Turn From Summer by Ding Mo. No body picked the translation until now, though chapter 1 already posted in SunShowerField blog. It's said the chapter 1 translation is a teaser to attract any other translator to pick the project.

I'll be thankful if you make this book as your next project. Btw, enjoy your holiday for one more week :D

About Me

I don't own the copyright. This is just a fan translation. You can probably tell by the quality of the writing :) If you spot any mistakes, leave me a note and I will amend it. I do not own any of the rights to any of the characters, names or images. I started translating the story for a good friend of mine. Nothing commercial about this project. Just a favour for a friend. I thought I might as well share it in a blog. Enjoy.
